OS news The gaming press and Steam Machines. Thanks Ant.The Xbox One and PS4 are sold not on what they offer now, but on
what they will offer in the future. I see absolutely no reason why
Steam Machines ought to be treated any differently.

Reality check: right now, spending $499 on a Steam Machine gets you access
to a lot more games and a lot more functionality than the Xbox One and PS4
offer combined. Of course, a Windows PC will offer even more games (not
functionality, Linux has that covered just fine) - but that applies just as
well to any console.
